If you’re still deciding when to sign up to attend NCPA’s Annual Convention, get moving – this early bird is about to fly away! Our early bird registration rate for the convention and our pre-convention programs ends July 19. Act before our deadline and save money – register here. Advance rates begin July 20. 

Attendees of this year’s event will have three great pre-convention workshops to choose from to add to their experience. Our Pharmacy Ownership Workshop, sponsored by McKesson, is one of them. It’s built for people interested in pharmacy ownership and owners of single and multiple locations. Attendees will receive lessons in the loan approval process, licensure agreements, creating a start-up checklist, writing a business plan, designing an effective store layout, and much more.

If you find yourself wanting to explore the Big Easy in those hours you’re not filling your mind with the latest developments in community pharmacy or visiting our exhibit hall, consider Magazine Street. It’s a six-mile stretch of stores, fancy restaurants, retro houses and more, and it’s about as NOLA as you can get. Learn more about Magazine Street here. 

Among the attractions: A number of fancy art galleries, including Kevin Gillentine Gallery, the Cole Pratt Gallery, and the Degas Gallery; and some classic eateries like La Petite Grocery, Slim Goodies Diner, and the Ruby Slipper Cafe, among many, many other options.
